Master List, Part 2 now with more delicious everything!

**Many thanks to rayruzfor the beautiful graphic.


******************

NOTE: PROMPTING HAS NOW CLOSED, BUT FICS AND FANWORKS MAY STILL BE SUBMITTED THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. THANKS!


Welcome!!!! The time is now upon us. This will kick off a month's worth of prompting and fanworking and all the good things. Not sure what to do? Click below for our handy-dandy Promptathon Guide!

RULES ON POSTING SUBMISSIONS
(please read before you post! <3)


The Rules.  Just follow these three easy steps!

1. Leave a Prompt.
Prompts can be anything--simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases. Anything that, to you, inspires a C/N fanwork. Use your imagination. Go crazy. All I ask is that you keep it tasteful and warn for anything explicit or triggery. Also, try to be as specific as you can with your prompts--this is often very helpful to those creating the fanwork.

And leave as many prompts as you want. I’m serious. Keep coming back, y’all. We want all the prompts we can possibly get Also, be sure to leave each prompt as a separate comment.

2. Wait a week.
Tailgate and chitchat and keep leaving prompts. And mull over the epic fanworks you are creating.

3. Submit C/N fanwork like there is no tomorrow.
All submissions should either be posted here or linked to this post via a comment. The nitty gritty details of posting your stuff can be found HERE. Please read before you post


Timeframe:
Prompts will be accepted starting today, Friday, July 13th (!!!) and will remain open until Friday, August 10th.  Submissions may be submitted beginning on Friday, July 20th and may continue to be submitted until August 10th.


What we hope to accomplish with all this promptathon-iness:

• A chance to get in the game. Been wanting to jump into the C/N fanwork scene but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. There’s no length requirement on the works submitted, you can focus on drabbles and vidlets and short and sweet projects (or do longer more epic stuff if that strikes your fancy as well).  It’s really entirely up to you. We’re just hoping to provide a fun, no-pressure environment.

• Meet new and awesome people. Because srsly, I love everyone in this bar. It's a good damn bar. Don't be afraid to say hello
• Ship like you’ve never shipped before.
• Tailgate when appropriate. My motto is, if something ain’t a cocktail party, you just aren’t trying hard enough. In that spirit, aurora_0811and I are hosting the tailgate section (which I think at this point just includes random chatter and ridiculousness, cheerleading and tomfoolery, because I doubt our comm’s talkative nature will be suppressed even during the prompting/waiting period.) So pull up a helicarrier-shaped lawnchair, crack open a cold one and settle in for the festivities. And leave prompts.

And most of all, have fun. :)

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER/AU PREMISE #1:

Clint and Natasha work in different areas of the Magisterium but they are brought together to find and return Lyra to Mrs. Coulter. While tracking Lyra, they realise how big a problem the Magisterium has become and decide to a) stall, destroy, or compromise the other search teams to give Lyra more time to escape, b) take down the Magisterium from the inside and/or c )join Lord Asriel's army.

[heartequals.livejournal.com]

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER/AU PREMISE #2:

Clint is Natasha's daemon.

[heartequals.livejournal.com]

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER/AU PREMISE #3:

Natasha's a witch. Clint's a hunter in the North.

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

WANT.

[heartequals.livejournal.com]

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER/AU PREMISE #4

I don't care what you do but Natasha's daemon is a black widow and Clint's daemon is a hawk.

[nightswhisper.livejournal.com]

Never apologize for wonderful things!

[nightswhisper.livejournal.com]

Wasn't going to leave any more prompts...

But I'm just sayin'

Fantasy or Sci-Fi AU/Crossover/Fusion ANYTHING. More love needed.

Ghosts, Vamps, Shifters, Aliens, Hunters, Peace Keepers, Time travelers, Mythical creatures, shamans, mediums, banshees, nymphs, intergalactic explorers, people who research these things, ANYTHING...any time period, anywhere.

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

we NEED more in the fantasy realm.

Is sci-fi acceptable also - specifically, Firefly?

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

Natasha's catsuit has a very specific opening for bathroom purposes. Clint's been known to take advantage of it, especially when they're stuck in tight places hiding out from random minions of evil.

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

I've read a lot of fanfics where Clint has a tendency to crawl around in the air vents a lot - particularly on the helicarrier (maybe it's a comics thing?). Have Natasha join him sometime. Any rating okay but smut encouraged.

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

God, I think I need a twelve-step program!

Mission Impossible:ghost protocol crossover. Includes spoilers!

William Brandt is actually Clint's long-term undercover persona (for an intermittent audit of IMF, and an in for one of the few organisations that are a match for SHEILD), stretching back several years. The Secretary he was analyst for is/was one of SHEILD's Oversight committee members, and organised Clint's mission in the first place. Natasha despises IMF and Clint's ongoing mission, not only because it keeps him away from her for stretches at a time where she can't watch his back, but because he really did feel that he'd failed Julia Hunt, and guilty and shaken by her 'death'.


While working an IMF mission as 'William Brandt', it turns out the mission leads the IMF team to StarkExpo. Desperate to avoid Tony, Pepper or Rhodey blowing his cover, Clint blurts out that he can't go undercover, because William is dating Natalie Rushman, Pepper's legal assistant. (can't believe that SHEILD wouldn't want her to keep up such a useful cover persona). Ethan, of course, thinks that's a perfect opening. Cue StarkExpo, with the IMF team covering for William with his girlfriend, while in reality, Natasha's covering for Clint with the IMF team. (If there's any way you can manage to have Black Widow and Hawkeye working a mission for SHEILD at the same time, you will possibly win the internetz.)

"And the history books forgot about us"/Cities that are not Budapest

[chimeriques.livejournal.com]

I love this. I love everything, but I REALLY LOVE THIS.

[(Anonymous)]

A How I Met Your Mother narrative anyone? Workerbee's fabulous kidfic earlier in the thread got me thinking of how Clint would tell the story of how he met Natasha. Bonus points if it includes the line: "It wasn't love at first sight. It took at least twenty seconds," and/ or a Robin/ Maria Hill reference.

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

I am having SO MANY FEELS ABOUT ALL OF THIS!

ALL THE LOVE!

This is just... wow. It has been SO long since I've been in a fandom where it's actually about the thing that we all love and not arguing and YAY!!!

(Also I have no idea how I'm going to wade through all of this and keep up with it all!)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT THE FEELS. It's awesome. And I love this fandom so damn much.


(I'm working on a master post for submissions that should make it easier to keep track of reading and such. Will try to post later tonight.)

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

Conversation originally from "In Plain Sight" season 1: "Trojan Horst" --- If the conversation were between Tasha and Clint, rather than Mary and Marshall. (Extra special bonus chocolate expresso cookies if it kind of delves into darkfic (or at least seriously dangerous/not always in control Tasha, that only Clint is strong/good/whatever enough to handle)

Mary: I thought we were friends.
Marshall: We are. You're my best friend.
Mary: Jesus, Marshall, you're like my only friend.
Marshall: I know, and you're like my only friend.
Mary: So? Sounds like a pretty good arrangement. What's the problem?
Marshall: The problem with us is—
Mary: Please just tell me.
Marshall: I feel like I'm the keeper of this exotic animal, and I spend my time either protecting you from the world or the world from you. And it's just—it's a lot of responsibility.
Mary: I'm sorry. But that's your job. And you cannot quit.

Real human being and a real hero

From the song A Real Hero by College & Electric Youth

[8m57w6.livejournal.com]

oh my god drive soundtrack i literally love everything about this

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I've had this song on a previous writing playlist but it obviously didn't hit me as much as it did with Clint/Natasha on my mind...

I Don't Deserve You
Paul van Dyk featuring Plumb


I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
Take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you

(there is other goodness but I picked this part because I like the running part. Always the running!)

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

The last thing we need here is MORE PROMPTS but here you go...

Cocktail AU (Movie Crossover)

Clint is a bar tender on the beach, trying to earn some money while having some fun. He's got a few special drinks he likes to make that have become quite legendary with the people who've heard about the little hole-in-the-wall he's at. One day, a beautiful red head comes in and asks for a Master Assassin. He asks her if she want it virgin or hard core. She gives him a little smile that is nothing like the "come hither" glances he gets all day and says, "What do you think?" He's so shook up, all he can do is mix the drink and accept her money. Before he can find the words (any words!) to say, she's gone.

But she's all he can think about. When she comes in the next night and asks for the same thing, he's prepared to be all suave. Problem is, he can't get to her fast enough and someone else is helping her. Plus, tonight she seems to be on a date with a guy with an eyepatch. Clint can't compete with an eye patch!

He thinks it's all over but she comes in the next night and refuses to let anyone else help her until Clint is free. Yada yada yada. She wears his shirt home.

And that, my friends, is what we call fate.

[inkvoices]

Of course we need more prompts! More, more, more! Especially if they're like this :D

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter crossover

Clint asks Natasha to the Yule Ball.

I kinda want to see what you think their houses are! And if she says yes to his offer or ends up going with someone else.

[jacedesbff.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. I don't know if I have the bandwidth to write this story, but now I'm all caught up in what houses the two of them would be in. Hmmm... While I am a very proud Hufflepuff myself, I think we can safely say that neither Clint nor Natasha is a 'Puff. Just sayin'. I would actually go with...him as a Gryffindor, her as a Slytherin.

Just had to comment on that b/c COOLNESS! :D

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

actually re-used from the replies to another prompt! Is this the first prompt offspring??? (used with permission of the original prompter, BTW)

JARVIS owes either Clint or Natasha a favor. They call it in.

Can be centered on how the debt was earned, or what JARVIS must do in repayment.

[nessataleweaver.livejournal.com]

Before she joined SHEILD, Natasha was trained to use sex as a weapon, and she'd never had it except under orders.

After she joined SHEILD, Natasha didn't need to use it at all - she was good enough to get what she wanted without actual sex. But first she had to learn how to be a real human, then learn what it was like to want sex for herself. Clint's the only man she's had sex with just because she wanted to.

As a result, Clint learns that while she's perfomed seductions in bedrooms, private bathrooms, in limos and boardrooms and offices, she's never had sex in places most people starting out the normal way do; she's never had sex in the backseat of a car, during a party behind a tree in a dark garden or in the bathroom with three people lining up to get in, the couch in a shared house/apartment, or snuck down to the laundry in the middle of the night.

So he talks her into one or all of the above.

(I never really had sex as a teenager myself - late bloomer! - so if you don't mind using one of your own experiences as a basis, that hasn't been listed, that's fine too. I'm kind of partial to the car idea, though.)

Fic: Maggie's Backseat (PG-13, none)

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I'm snagging in the backseat of a car!

Title: Maggie's Backseat
Characters: Clint/Natasha
Word Count: 1171
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Clint's taken by surprise when Natasha tells him she's never had sex in the back of a car. He decides this is the perfect place (and the perfect car) to rectify the situation.

[flying-android.livejournal.com]

Because I got all sniffly and needy when I wrote the foster kids AU fic...

Can anybody make art happen involving tiny (nine-ish year old) Clint sat on his windowledge at night, hearing aids in, blanket wrapped around him, with a tree outside whose branches cast cool shadows in his room?

Or, actually, anything with a kid!Clint is fine by me. Seriously. Anything.

[chimeriques.livejournal.com]

UGH! All I can think of is that damn Johnny Cash song prompt and the lyrics everyone I love goes away in the end

I am incapable of thinking of scenarios that aren't angsty!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

her hands, his hands - a character study

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

Thought this was adorable from the beginning but it got even better when we learned that Tony'd already tried a few other "sneaky" scenarios and C and N had seen through all of them. Too cute. Thanks for sharing!

[inkvoices]

Clint and Natasha are apart, not because of a mission (because they wouldn't be that unprofessional on a mission, I think) but something boring, like one of them is on a language course or driving back from a mission whilst the other is stuck on the hellicarrier or something. Anyway, Clint's bored and sends Natasha a sneaky, sexy text, saying what he'd like to be getting up to with her right now. To his surprise and glee Natasha joins in. (Clint may have to go and take care of himself at some point, because she's better at this game than him. Or he waits until she gets back.) Something like that *grins*.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

DAMNATION!!!

Moar thoughts are happening.

[inkvoices]

SHIELD has masses of paperwork. Fury believes on keeping the really confidential stuff actually on paper because he's paranoid and thinks it's safer and easier to destroy, so there's that. Then there are the electronic reports to fill in, which contain the less confidential stuff. Then there are their personal reports and logs, which thankfully are much less formal (although 'no Clint, I shot people, want sleep now does not constitute any form of report'). Then there are the copies. Masses. Of. Paperwork.

Clint complains about it. A lot. Then one day Natasha joins in with a few comments. She shouldn't have done that. Because then Coulson starts making up paperwork just for them. They don't realise at first, then they do, and he still insists on them filling it in. He will pester them until they do. (Possibly Fury or Hill or others join in?)

(And then they know that Coulson isn't dead when they get their paperwork packets/files to fill in a few days after the alien invasion and there is paperwork personalised to them and this specific incident, as per Coulson's MO...)

[sweetwatersong.livejournal.com]

SO. MUCH. LOVE.

Head canon accepted.

[inkvoices]

Natasha has never bought a present or gift for Clint before. It's not how they work. They share everything (and that's why Nat's sometimes in Clint's sweatshirt), but they don't do gifts. Then one day Natasha buys Clint a book and actually wraps it up and leaves it in his room or with his bow or somewhere for him to find, and so beginnings a story of Clint trying to figure out why and what it means and the points of the book without ever asking Natasha directly 'what the hell'... (although maybe he does when all else fails?)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

UH OH. I am having thoughts about this. O_o

[flying-android.livejournal.com]

Clint and Natasha lounging around in their underwear. Lazy Sunday morning, too hot, just don't want to put clothes on? Any reason you like :D

Possibly because they're taking pics of each other in a sexy photo-shoot style?

Art will be drooled over and possibly licked.
